I'm pretty sure that Mach doesn't support CanOpen, or is this something new? |
No, I'm pretty sure it does not. CanOpen is a whole new "can" of complexity that I'm sure the Mach team could handle, but I'm not sure I could, he he.
I have tried to "talk" to this drive using AMC's software on the RS-232 lines (as the datasheet hints at this type of communication), but it has not worked thus far.
For someone just getting into the CNC world, there sure are a lot of pitfalls and booby-traps to watch out for.
What is this 6-step drive that you are referring to?
